  1. First, calculate the price weighted indexes at t=0 and t=1. Based on the two numbers calculate the rate of return.

  2. What must happen to the divisor for the price-weighted index in year 2?

  3. Calculate the price weighted index at t=2. Based on the index number at t=1 and t=2, calculate the rate of return.

The current market price is $250 and quantity demanded at that price is 100 for textbooks. If price decreases to $100, and quantity demanded increased to 350. How much is the price elasticity of demand. Is the market for the economics textbook elastic, inelastic or unit elastic, and why?

Given the information on the price elasticity of demand of textbook, what happens to total revenue for this market for the decrease in price from $250 to $100.

die's job is to output an error message alarmingly and terminate the program. You may copy my

function definition, or use your own:

// The following 4 lines should be present if we have a die function:

#include <iostream> // cout, endl

#include <string> // string

#include <cstdlib> // exit, EXIT_FAILURE

using namespace std;

bool die(const string & msg){

cout <<"Fatal error: " <<msg <<endl;

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

}

4. Use rand to randomly choose one of the five operators * / % + - .

Use rand again to choose a random int in the range [1, 20].

Use rand again to choose a second random int in the range [1, 20].

Ask the user what the answer to the corresponding equation is.

C&d on input failure

Tell the user whether he's correct.

An example run of your program might go as

What's the answer to 14 * 3 ?

You have 21 cards written from 1 to 21. The number K is inputted from a command window (using input command). First, please shuffle these 21 cards such that the sequence becomes random (using rand command). You need to make a function of New_Cards=shuffle(Orig_Card), where New_Cards is a 1X21 vector that has random sequence of the cards (Ex. New_Cards=[ 14 7 21 6….. 9 1 3 5 8]). When the first even number is greater than K, you should print in the command window saying that ‘You win!’, otherwise ‘You lost!’. K should be set as a global variable in the main cell. Please create a function of Output = game(New_Cards). Output is 1 when the first even number is greater than K, and it is 0 when the first even number is less than K.(Using Matlab)
